September 2015 - 7 Night Western Mediterranean (Barcelona Roundtrip) Cruise on Allure of the Seas

Great itinerary! The Allure is a beautiful ship with lots to do. We stayed in Sky Loft suite which was nice (largest deck we've ever had - usually stay in Royal Suites). Bathrooms and closet space both horrible. So many people on the ship, there was always a long line waiting to get int the Windjammer to eat. The Suite lounge (perk with suites) and Coastal Kitchen were excellent although concierges were extremely poor. Food was decent anywhere on ship. Awesome new automated process with finding and viewing your pictures although it only works if you get your picture taken with backdrop as you board ship (based then on face recognition similar to FB). RCL is testing lots of changes on different ships. Communication of what's being tested is poorly communicated in advance which is a negative if you purchase things in advance. Travel agents have no idea of what's going on although RCL encourages you to book through an agent.

ChicagoRepeatCr's Tips

Naples, Italy - Amalfi Coast and Ravello are exceptional!
Barcelona, Spain - Buy online tickets in advance and visit Park Guell in addition to visiting the beautiful church (Familia Sagrada).
La Spezia, Italy -
Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands -
Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy - Lots of awesome medieval villages to visit both north and south of Rome if you've already spent time touring Rome previously
Marseille (Provence), France - Beautiful area but very pricey
Allure of the Seas - The Coastal Kitchen and Suite Lounge provided to suite guests are great. Wish we would have known about them before the cruise. In the lounge we could get bottled water, beer, wine and soft drinks from 11:00am - 11:00pm. We bought water which wasnt necessary (waste of $50) and luckily we didn't pkg
